Amazon warehouse manager in Atlanta stole $9.4M, used it to buy cars and a hookah lounge

An Amazon manager who masterminded an audacious $10 million fraud that allowed her to buy a Lamborghini and a mansion — where she lived with her co-conspirator girlfriend — is riding off to the Big House.
Kayricka Wortham, 32, an operations manager at the e-commerce giant’s Atlanta warehouse, was sentenced to 16 years in a federal prison for orchestrating the plot involving six others that bilked the e-commerce giant out of $9.4 million, the Department of Justice said Wednesday.
quote:
The scheme involved Wortham submitting false invoices for fake vendors and then redirecting the funds to herself and six others in the theft ring, according to the feds.
Hudson, who owned a business contracted by Amazon to deliver packages, helped Wortham submit fake invoices to Amazon that were worth millions of dollars, according to prosecutors.
quote:
Together, Ms. Wortham and Ms. Hudson used the stolen money to buy a five-bedroom home in Smyrna, GA, just miles from the Amazon warehouse, for nearly $1 million, along with a Lamborghini, a Tesla, a Porsche Panamera, a Kawasaki motorcycle and a Dodge Durango S.U.V., according to prosecutors. They also bought expensive jewelry with the stolen money, charging documents show.
After Ms. Wortham left Amazon in March 2022, the scheme continued, prosecutors said.
In January, while out on bond, Ms. Wortham and Ms. Hudson were working with a franchising company to try to open a hookah lounge, according to prosecutors. When the company asked them about the charges related to the Amazon case, Ms. Wortham and Ms. Hudson sent the company forged court documents indicating that charges had been dismissed in the case, according to prosecutors. Their bonds were revoked after the authorities learned about the forgery.

Also involved in the plot were Demetrius Hines, who worked in loss prevention for Amazon, and human resources assistant Laquettia Blanchard, the feds said.

I wonder if at some point they realized they might have gone a little far. 10 million will get noticed at some point.

Somehow they thought no one would be suspicious of the massive purchases that are about as loud as possible.

quote:
Wortham, who was the leader of the scheme, provided fake vendor information to unknowing subordinates and asked them to input the information into Amazon’s vendor system. Once the information was entered, Wortham approved the fake vendors, enabling them to submit invoices. Wortham and co-conspirators then submitted fictitious invoices to Amazon, falsely representing that the vendors had provided goods and services to Amazon. Wortham approved the invoices, causing Amazon to transfer millions in fraudulent proceeds to bank accounts controlled by her and her co-conspirators.

If it was a cash sale, they probably didn’t care where the money came from as long as they got paid.

Go ahead and get ready to do a mock-up on this for the BR Amazon facility in the next few years.
